It's important to note that there are actually several dialects of Maa spoken by different Maasai communities, including:
* Kamba
* Parakuyo
* Purko
* Samburu
* Arusha
* Kijita
* Matapato
While these dialects are mutually intelligible to some extent, there are significant differences between them.
In addition to Maa, many Maasai people also speak Swahili, the national language of Tanzania and Kenya, and English, which is increasingly used for education and business.
